- What is the process of consideration of the payback period?arrow_forwardConsider the following two sets of project cash flows: Project Year 0 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Year 6 Discount rate X -830 145 158 193 253 288 290 0.123 Y -510 193 193 91 81 88 90 0.123 A) Assume that projects X and Y are mutually exclusive. The correct investment decision and the best rational for that decision is to: i) invest in Project Y since IRRY > IRRX. ii) invest in Project Y since NPVY > NPVX. iii) neither of the above. B) What are the incremental IRR and NPV of Project X? C) Is the use of the incremental measures in B) appropriate to your evaluation of the preferred project? Explain. D) Which is the preferred project?

If the opportunity cost of capital is 8%, which of these two projects would you accept (A, B, or both)? b. Suppose that you can choose only one of these two projects. Which would you choose? The discount rate is still 8%. c. Which one would you choose if the cost of capital is 16%? d. What is the payback period of each project? e. Is the project with the shortest payback period also the one with the highest NPV? f. What are the internal rates of return on the two projects? g. Does the IRR rule in this case give the same answer as NPV? h. If the opportunity cost of capital is 8%, what is the profitability index for each project? i.
